Hello,

I am pretty new to after effects and have come across a speed bump in regards to one of my music video projects.

I have 2 seperate clips:

1- A few guys singing in a steady full shot.

2- An over the shoulder shot of a guy looking at a magazine


what im trying to do... is motion track the magazine and put shot number 1 into the magazine aritcle that the guy is looking at (shot 2).

Now... i successfully tracked the magazine and have "stuck" shot 1 to it. however, it doesnt look very good since the edges of shot 1 are pretty hard and are locked to proportion.

what i would like to know is how i can adjust the image of shot 1 without having it move uniformly

ex. there are 4 points on the corners of shot 1 and everytime i try to move just 1 of those points the other 3 move with it.

is there anyway that i can "unlock" this so i can fit shot 1 more naturally to the magazine page?

and are there any other effects that anyone can suggest to use to help shot 1 blend better to shot 2?

any help would be much appreciated.

If I understand what you want correctly. Maybe a corner pin, and mask anything that would be covered. I.E. if the shoulder, hand etc covers a certain part of the magazine, than just mask it out. Animate the corner pin if neccessary.

Good luck, if that wasnt what you needed elaborate please. If it was, show us your outcome. :happy:
